VFR flight kneeboard - students version

NK3-VFR is another family kneeboards offered by our company. This time we tried to create a product targeted at the less advanced pilots - people who have just started their adventure with aviation and do not have to account hundreds of hours flown. The result is a device which, in addition to standard features kneeboard airline also offers solutions for educational.
Model NK3-VFR is composed of three distinct parts: a soft, fold-out case, aluminum clipbord and 50 ready to fill in forms the operational flight plan (OFP). All three elements have been designed so as to be able to use them together or completely independently (additional belt attached to the clipbord allow to place it at the second leg) OFP's size has been adapted to the size of the pouch located in the central part of the soft case.

The soft part (cover) is made of a heavy fabric (Cordura 800) rectangle with a width of 500mm and height of 300mm (unfolded). In the compact form kneeboard width is reduced to about 200 mm (depending on the content of the interior). The inner side of the kneeboard is divided into three sections. The middle section contains transparent pocket with access from the top. The right wing having an extra foil pocket. The left wing equipped with two pockets materials - a large inner and lower sewn on the outside. In addition, the left wing has sewn in two thirds of the height of the rubber band representing additional protection for longer items stored in this place. Kneeboard is attached to the thigh by two pieces of rubber band with a total length of 620mm. Attached to the rubber Velcro allow you to smoothly adjust the strap length to thigh circumference. In this regard, can be adjusted between 600 - 350mm. Comfortable adherence to Kneeboard will provide three soft pillows. Their thickness is selected in consideration of the oval shape of the substrate to prevent excessive bending to kneeboard the contact point of the thigh. Between the middle part and the right and left side are two oblong closed bottom pockets for pens.

The heart of the Kneeboard is clipbord - aluminum plate with dimensions of 135 to 235mm with the two oblong holes for the rubber strap and spring clip riveted at the top of the plate. Clip has a special mechanism with folding lever saving space and allowing to open-up the jaw with a small force. The clipboard surface has an imprint containing a set of tools useful in flight. In among them there are, among others:

• drawing explaining the principle of determining the next angle values and courses necessary to perform calculations navigation
• 10 steps described in the scheme of operations to be performed in the course of preparing the ground for the flight with all the necessary formulas and sample calculations,
• filled with fragments of OFP (for the form supplied), including those related to the calculation of fuel consumption,
• tables allowing convert pressure given in hPa to inHg and meters to feet
